請參照圖1(a)至圖1(c),其分別繪示習知投射式電容觸控面板在不同距離D1、D2及D3時之操作示意圖。現行投射式電容觸控面板(Projected Capacitive Touch,簡稱PCT)之操作方式,其觸控面板200感應區之等效電容上之感應訊號(其可為電壓或電流模式)可區分為一無觸動區、一不穩態區及一觸動區,一臨界值(threshold)將位於該不穩態區的上方處,高於該臨界值即進入該觸動區。如圖1(a)所示,當觸控面板200與手指300間具有D1距離時,因觸控面板200感應區之等效電容上之感應訊號低於該臨界值,因此,觸控面板200上沒有觸控動作;如圖1(b)所示,當觸控面板200與手指300間具有D2距離時,其中D2<D1,因觸控面板200感應區之等效電容上之感應訊號將隨之增加,但仍低於臨界值,因此,觸控面板200上也沒有觸控動作;如圖1(c)所示,當觸控面板200與手指300間具有D3距離時,其中D3=0(即以觸控至該觸控面板200上),觸控面板200感應區之等效電容上之感應訊號將增加至高於臨界值,而進入該觸動區,該觸控面板200上將反應該觸控動作執行相關動作。Please refer to FIG. 1( a ) to FIG. 1( c ) , which respectively illustrate the operation of the conventional projected capacitive touch panel at different distances D1 , D2 and D3 . In the current operation mode of the Projected Capacitive Touch (PCT), the sensing signal (which can be a voltage or current mode) on the equivalent capacitance of the sensing area of the touch panel 200 can be divided into a non-touching area. And an unsteady zone and a touch zone, a threshold will be located above the unstable zone, and above the threshold, the touch zone is entered. As shown in FIG. 1( a ), when the touch panel 200 and the finger 300 have a D1 distance, since the sensing signal on the equivalent capacitance of the sensing area of the touch panel 200 is lower than the threshold, the touch panel 200 is There is no touch action; as shown in FIG. 1(b), when the touch panel 200 and the finger 300 have a D2 distance, wherein D2 < D1, the sensing signal on the equivalent capacitance of the sensing area of the touch panel 200 will be As a result, there is no touch action on the touch panel 200. As shown in FIG. 1(c), when the touch panel 200 and the finger 300 have a D3 distance, D3= 0 (ie, touch to the touch panel 200), the sensing signal on the equivalent capacitance of the sensing area of the touch panel 200 will increase above a threshold, and when entering the touch area, the touch panel 200 will be reversed. The touch action should be performed to perform related actions.
惟上述習知投射式電容觸控面板,該觸控面板200具有固定的解析度、掃瞄頻率,較高之訊號增益,使該觸控面板200在距離D2、D1或D0時都維持一定的解析度及掃瞄頻率,如此將會造成該觸控面板200長期操作及待機時的耗電,且需透過繁瑣之實驗進行觸發值設定,來克服LCD模組及電路系統所產生之動態雜訊干擾。In the above-mentioned conventional projected capacitive touch panel, the touch panel 200 has a fixed resolution, a scanning frequency, and a high signal gain, so that the touch panel 200 maintains a certain distance at a distance D2, D1 or D0. The resolution and the scanning frequency will cause the power consumption of the touch panel 200 during long-term operation and standby, and the trigger value setting needs to be performed through cumbersome experiments to overcome the dynamic noise generated by the LCD module and the circuit system. interference.
請參照圖2(a)至圖2(b),其中圖2(a)繪示習知具有Z軸感應之自電容驅動投射式電容觸控面板之操作示意圖;圖2(b)繪示習知具有Z軸感應之互電容驅動投射式電容觸控面板之操作示意圖。如圖2(a)所示,現行自電容驅動投射式電容觸控面板400之操作方式,雖然具有Z軸感應之功能,但其具有:1.固定感測器解析度;2.非接觸時單點偵測;3.需兩套偵測電路及計算演算法;以及4.待機時耗電等缺點。如圖2(b)所示,現行互電容驅動投射式電容觸控面板400之操作方式,雖然亦具有Z軸感應之功能,但其具有:1.固定感測器解析度;2.非接觸時多點偵測;3.需兩套偵測電路及計算演算法;以及4.待機時耗電等缺點,誠屬美中不足之處。Please refer to FIG. 2( a ) to FIG. 2( b ) , wherein FIG. 2( a ) is a schematic diagram showing the operation of a conventional self-capacitance driven projected capacitive touch panel with Z-axis sensing; FIG. 2( b ) It is known that the Z-axis sensing mutual capacitance drives the projected capacitive touch panel. As shown in FIG. 2( a ), the current self-capacitance driving projection capacitive touch panel 400 has the function of Z-axis sensing, but has: 1. fixed sensor resolution; 2. non-contact time Single point detection; 3. Two sets of detection circuits and calculation algorithms are required; and 4. Shortcomings such as power consumption during standby. As shown in FIG. 2(b), the current mutual capacitance driving projected capacitive touch panel 400 operates, although it also has a Z-axis sensing function, but has: 1. fixed sensor resolution; 2. non-contact Multi-point detection; 3. Two sets of detection circuits and calculation algorithms are required; and 4. Shortcomings such as power consumption during standby are really a shortcoming.
此外,習知之觸控面板僅具有固定的訊號增益及固定之觸發值。圖3為一示意圖,其繪示習知之觸控面板之驅動控制方法在D1距離時維持原增益之示意圖。如圖3所示,在D1距離時,其感應區電容上之感應訊號低於臨界值,因此,不會產生觸動;當距離接近至碰觸該觸控面板200時,該感應區電容上之感應訊號將會高於臨界值而產生觸動。In addition, the conventional touch panel has only a fixed signal gain and a fixed trigger value. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a conventional driving control method of the touch panel maintaining the original gain at a D1 distance. As shown in FIG. 3, when the distance is D1, the sensing signal on the sensing area capacitance is lower than the critical value, so that no touch is generated; when the distance is close to the touch panel 200, the sensing area is capacitive. The inductive signal will be above the threshold and will be triggered.

於該步驟1中,該動態解析度控制電路10可在一物體20與該觸控面板30相距小於一第一距離時使該觸控面板30之解析度由一第一解析度變為一第二解析度;其中,該物體20例如但不限於為手指或尖端具導電性之觸控筆,該觸控面板30例如但不限於為一電容式觸控面板,且可為自電容式觸控面板或互電容式觸控面板,其具有多點觸控之功能。該第一距離例如但不限於為2公分,該第一解析度例如但不限於為1x1或2x3,該第二解析度例如但不限於為6x3,且每一區塊具有解析度10x5,且在該第一解析度時,該觸控面板30具有高的感應度及低的掃瞄頻率(例如但不限於為每LCD框率(Frame Rate)1/60秒1次),在該第二解析度時,該觸控面板30具有低的感應度及高的掃瞄頻率(例如但不限於為每1/60秒100次)。In the first step, the dynamic resolution control circuit 10 can change the resolution of the touch panel 30 from a first resolution to a first time when the object 20 is less than a first distance from the touch panel 30.

以下將以一實例說明本案之觸控面板之動態驅動控制方法之動作原理。請一併參照圖5(a)至圖6(b),其中圖5(a)繪示本案一較佳實施例之觸控面板之動態驅動控制方法在第一階段驅動時維持2x3掃瞄頻率之示意圖;圖5(b)繪示本案一較佳實施例之觸控面板之動態驅動控制方法在第二階段驅動時變成10x5x2掃瞄頻率之示意圖;圖6(a)繪示本案另一較佳實施例之觸控面板之動態驅動控制方法在第一階段驅動時維持1x1掃瞄頻率之示意圖;圖6(b)繪示本案一較佳實施例之觸控面板之動態驅動控制方法在第二階段驅動時變成6x3,且每一區塊具有10x5解析度之掃瞄頻率之示意圖。The operation principle of the dynamic driving control method of the touch panel of the present invention will be described below by way of an example. Referring to FIG. 5( a ) to FIG. 6( b ), FIG. 5( a ) illustrates a dynamic driving control method of the touch panel according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, maintaining a 2×3 scanning frequency during the first stage driving. FIG. 5(b) is a schematic diagram showing the dynamic driving control method of the touch panel according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention becomes a 10x5x2 scanning frequency when driven in the second stage; FIG. 6(a) shows another comparison in the present case. The dynamic driving control method of the touch panel of the preferred embodiment maintains a 1x1 scanning frequency during the first stage driving; FIG. 6(b) illustrates the dynamic driving control method of the touch panel according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The two-stage drive becomes 6x3, and each block has a schematic diagram of the scan frequency of 10x5 resolution.
以二階段精度驅動為例,如圖5(a)所示,在該物體20與該觸控面板30相距大於一距離,例如但不限於為2公分時,該動態解析度控制電路10在第一階段驅動時將維持2x3掃瞄頻率;如圖5(b)所示,在該物體20與該觸控面板30相距小於2公分時,該動態解析度控制電路10將進入第二階段驅動,在該物體20與該觸控面板30碰觸時,該觸控面板30將具有6x3之解析度,該觸控面板30仍分成18個感應區塊,但每個感應區塊中則具有10x5個感應單元,以更新率為60HZ時,由於在物體20(手指或觸控筆)碰觸該觸控面板30時,該動態解析度控制電路10及該增益控制電路40已鎖定18個感應區塊中的2個(或n個)已偵測到之碰觸區塊,若依每個感應區塊具有10x5個感應元件為例,總計每1/60秒所需完成掃描偵測元件為10x5x2(或10*5*n)次,該動態解析度控制電路10及該增益控制電路40將僅處理該觸控面板30上的2個(或n個)已偵測到之碰觸區塊,因此,可較傳統全面之逐點或逐行掃描方式快速計算出確實之碰觸位置。Taking the two-stage precision driving as an example, as shown in FIG. 5( a ), when the object 20 is apart from the touch panel 30 by more than one distance, such as but not limited to 2 cm, the dynamic resolution control circuit 10 is in the The 2x3 scan frequency will be maintained during the first stage driving; as shown in FIG. 5(b), when the object 20 is less than 2 cm away from the touch panel 30, the dynamic resolution control circuit 10 will enter the second stage driving.

Two (or n) of the detected touch blocks are used. For example, if each sensing block has 10x5 sensing elements, the total scanning detection component required to complete every 1/60 second is 10x5x2 ( Or 10*5*n) times, the dynamic resolution control circuit 10 and the gain control circuit 40 will only process the touch panel 30. Two (or n) of blocks has been detected to the touch, and therefore, can quickly calculate the touch position than does the conventional round-by-point or progressive scan mode.

When the object 20 is separated from the touch panel 30 by more than one distance, such as but not limited to 2 cm, the dynamic resolution control circuit is provided. 10 will maintain a 1x1 scan frequency when driving in the first stage; as shown in FIG. 6(b), when the object 20 is less than 2 cm away from the touch panel 30, the dynamic resolution control circuit 10 will enter the second For the principle of phase driving, please refer to the description of FIG. 5(b) above, and the detailed description is not repeated here.

Please refer to FIG. 7 , which is a schematic diagram of dynamically controlling the gain of the dynamic driving control method of the touch panel according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, in the case where the distance is the same as that in FIG. 3, the dynamic resolution control and signal gain control circuit 40 of the present invention can be enlarged to enlarge the equivalent capacitance in the sensing block on the touch panel 30. The sensing signal is caused to be greater than the threshold to generate a touch action to improve the sensitivity of the touch panel 30. Wherein the threshold is for example but not limited to a voltage, a current or a pulse number.
